CIRCUS TIME: Mattel Circus Playset No. 0506 (1973) - Pt 12 Set No. 11 Accessory Act

While this is the last act that came with Mattel's Circus play set, it won't be the last post for this set. The last one will be a surprise post from one our reader's!

This act includes a Twirling Bar and it makes me wonder why Mattel didn't call this the 'Twirling Bar Act' instead of the 'Accessory Act' - unless that is the name given to it in real circuses. I'll have to do a bit of research. The bar is clearly meant to have two acrobats so you'll need to pull the figure from bag no. 10 to make it complete. And of course the Trapeze Act from bag no. 10 will need the figure from this bag to help flesh out that act. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Here we have the acrobat from the Trapeze Act helping out on the Twirling Bar

Only one ladder was used when this was set up on the train layout


Here we have both acrobats on the bar

ahhh yes, this is more like it - the Trapeze Act looks complete with two acrobats instead of one!
